Moles
Moles are tumors on the skin, usually brown or black in color, and can appear anywhere on the body, alone or in groups. Most moles appear in the person in early childhood, during the first thirty years of his life, and naturally the number of normal human between 10 to 40 moles before the age of puberty.
Over time, moles often change slowly to become larger or different colors, or hair may grow too. Some species may not change over time and remain as they are, and some may disappear with age.
Causes of appearance of moles
Moles appear when the cells grow in the skin, in clusters rather than spread all over the skin. These cells are called pigmented. They produce dyes that give the skin its natural color, and may change to darker in the sun, during adolescence or during pregnancy period.
Types of moles
- Congenital moles: Moles that are present at birth, and appear in one person out of a hundred, these moles may be more likely to develop into skin cancer, and should be examined by the doctor if the diameter is greater than the pencil eraser.
- The moles are usually larger than the average (larger than the pencil eraser) and are irregular in shape and tend to be uneven. They are darker than the middle and edge.
Remove moles from the face
The mole should be removed from the face by a specialist, such as a dermatologist, and must undergo medical examinations before doing so to ensure that they are not malignancies. After these tests, the doctor chooses the most appropriate way to remove the mole, usually by performing a simple and small operation to cut.
Another way to remove the mole is by freezing it, so that the doctor puts cold nitrogen on the mole directly, so that it destroys its cells, and thus their disappearance.
Other ways to remove the mole are by burning it with a laser or by surgery known as “electrical surgery”. In this way, the moles are destroyed, thus removing them permanently from the face, but this procedure must be performed by a specialist dermatologist. The person being exposed to skin burns, or any other problems may result due to the use of high laser heat.
